dc.description.abstract | Soil degradation and desertification processes in the Mediterranean basin reflect the
interplay between environmental and socioeconomic drivers. An approach to evaluate
comparatively the multiple relationships between biophysical variables and
socioeconomic factors is illustrated in the present study using the data collected from
586 field sites located in five Mediterranean areas (Spain, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia and
Morocco). A total of 47 variables were chosen to illustrate land-use, farm
characteristics, population pressure, tourism development, rainfall regime, water
availability, soil properties and vegetation cover, among others. A data mining
approach incorporating non-parametric inference, principal component analysis and
hierarchical clustering was developed to identify candidate syndromes of soil
degradation and desertification risk. While field sites in the same study area showed a
substantial similarity, the multivariate relationship among variables diverged among
study areas. Data mining techniques proved to be a practical tool to identify spatial
determinants of soil degradation and desertification risk. Our findings identify the
contrasting spatial patterns for biophysical and socioeconomic variables, in turn
associated with different responses to land degradation. | en_US |
